What's new

New features

  • Contacts import/exportImport… (Alt+I) and Export… (Alt+X) buttons in the Contacts dialog. JSON export is a lossless round-trip (all fields including FCC-verified metadata); CSV exports the five user-editable columns (Callsign, Name, Location, GMRS, HAM) for spreadsheet editing. Import merges by callsign + name — existing entries are updated with non-blank incoming fields while verified status is preserved; new callsigns are appended.
  • Monitor passthrough — a Passthrough toggle next to the Monitor button bypasses the bandpass filter so raw audio plays unprocessed; useful for wideband listening or debugging the audio path.

Documentation

  • User manual updated — PDF reflects the new Passthrough toggle and Contacts import/export controls.
